8 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Withdrawal Management Services in the Province of Ontario are designated as Provincial Services. In our very mobile society it is not uncommon for our clients to be from other districts, regions or parts of the province and these clients are provided services within the resource capability of funded agencies. The Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards set out minimum standards of professional and clinical practice to guide the operation of Withdrawal Management Services in the Province of Ontario. The standards are clearly defined for each category of Service delivery. The authors of this document recognized that, for some agencies, meeting the Standards may be difficult to attain because of budgetary challenges. None-theless, we proceeded with the standards as a goal towards quality of care and not as a reflection of the lowest common denominator. The original Standards were published in 1997 after a two-year development period and addressed Residential Withdrawal Management Services. The first review and revision was published in 2001 and for the first time addressed the Community Withdrawal Management Service category that had been developed by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). This was followed by a second review and revision published in 2004 and included all of the prior content, incorporating revisions. For the first time the Medication Guidelines and Protocols based on former guidelines from the MOHLTC were addressed as a specific Standard rather than an appendix to the Standards. Methadone Maintenance was also addressed for the first time in the 2004 Standards. The MOHLTC funded the current review and revisions to the Standards and to the Service Definitions, relevant to withdrawal management, as a special project. There have been significant changes to the definitions to describe all categories of nonresidential withdrawal management that have developed through innovations in the field. The Community Withdrawal Management Service (CWMS) definition, as developed by the MOHLTC has long been accepted as a Service Definition. In consultation with the MOHLTC, the Standards Working Group has maintained this definition as developed; however, two new categories to describe the service activities currently taking place have been developed. The first is Day Withdrawal Management Service (DWMS) and has been well established in other jurisdictions. The second new category is Telephone Supported Withdrawal Management Service (TSWMS) and is an emerging innovation in providing care when barriers to other categories of withdrawal management exist. Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, 2008 vii

9 The Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, as in the past, include standards in administration, program, client care, education and physical structure. These standards utilize the revised Withdrawal Management Service Definitions for nonresidential services. Significant research into Best Practices developed by Health Canada, by other provinces and by international organizations was utilized in the development of the Standards. The Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) Program Standards, Mental Health Services, 2008 was utilized as a significant reference. A very large number of the agencies providing withdrawal management services and all of the Residential agencies are sponsored by hospitals and these Standards are used to measure Mental Health and Addiction programs in hospital accreditation processes. Feedback was sought, throughout the process, from all agencies that deliver withdrawal management services in the province. The Standards Working Group also held consultations with other key stakeholders of the Health Care continuum. These included representatives from the Local Health Integrated Networks (LHIN s), MOHLTC, Drug and Alcohol Treatment Information System (DATIS), and CONNEX ONTARIO. To facilitate ease of use, the manual is divided into four service delivery sections. These sections include one for each category of withdrawal management as outlined in the revised Service Definitions for the withdrawal management sector. The four sections are Residential Withdrawal Management Services, Community Withdrawal Management Services, Day Withdrawal Management Services and Telephone Supported Withdrawal Management Services. This will make it easy for users to go to the Standard section or sections applicable to the type of service or services they provide. This edition of the Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards reflects the ongoing nature of addressing the ever-increasing complexity of client care during withdrawal, the provision of exemplary care and the evolution of Withdrawal Management Services to include innovations and emerging trends and needs. These same issues inform the need to continually review and revise standards on an ongoing basis. In addition, it addresses the evolution of innovations in the categories of non-residential withdrawal management and identifies Service Definitions that defines the activities undertaken in delivery of care. The working group of the Withdrawal Management Project appreciates the input from all colleagues who participated in the revision of these standards. It is the hope of the working group that the application of these standards will inform the development or redevelopment of your service policies and procedures and facilitate your ability to deliver consistent exemplary care throughout the province. Committee Members Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, 2008 viii

10 FOREWORD Using the Manual In prior editions of the Standards, the Residential Standards were written with Community WMS references incorporated, in italics, within the body of the Standards. As a result of innovations since the last review and revisions, particularly in the non-residential based withdrawal management services, two new withdrawal management service categories were added and a significant change in format was required. It very quickly became apparent to the Standards Working Group that some Standards could be written to meet the needs of all categories of WMS, while others needed to have Standards written to directly address the needs of a specific category or varying groupings of categories. For this reason the manual is set up such that, rather than having to read through information not relevant to your service, the user can, go directly to the Standards relevant to the services they are providing. The manual therefore is set up in Sections as follows: Section I Standards for Residential Withdrawal Management Services Section II Standards for Community Withdrawal Management Services Section III Standards for Day Withdrawal Management Services Section IV Standards for Telephone Supported Withdrawal Management Services It is felt that by adopting the new format this manual will be far more user friendly than maintaining it as an integrated document with several sub sections for each Standard. Therefore, you need only reference the section/sections that is/are relevant to the category/categories of service that you deliver in your agency. Ongoing Review and Revisions Standards are always a work in progress, a living document, requiring regular review and revision as system methods and mandate evolve and as new trends emerge. In the past, a review has taken place every 3 years with revised standards being available every four years. The current pace at which the system is experiencing change may require this to happen sooner than past practice. It would be helpful, therefore, to track recommendations and new issues for inclusion as they arise. Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, 2008 ix

11 It is proposed, therefore, that issues you identify for inclusion and/or revision in the next review be submitted to the Addictions Ontario (AO) office so that a record of your recommendations is kept for the next review. The AO address is info@addictionsontario.ca. Committee Members Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, 2008 x

12 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards are based on the original and subsequent versions of the standards. The standards working group would like to thank all prior committee members, in particular the formation committee of the 1997 Ontario Detox Directors Association Standards that included Berit Dullerud, Bruce Taylor, Ted Ryan, Barbara Deschamps and Yolande Bobbie who devoted many personal hours to the early development process. Without the dedication and commitment of these individuals the withdrawal management sector would not have comprehensive, integrated, evidenced-based province wide standards to address withdrawal management issues. This working group is further appreciative of the hospitals that supported the time and involvement of all past and current committee members. We would also like to acknowledge the recommendations and contributions made by Dr. Mel Kahan, St. Joseph s Health Centre, Toronto, Substance Use Medical Services, Dr. David Marsh, Physician Leader, Addiction Medicine, Vancouver Coastal Health (formerly of CAMH) and Nadine Smith RN, Nurse Clinician, St. Joseph s Health Centre, Toronto. The working group wishes to recognize and express their appreciation for the significant financial contribution and ongoing support provided by The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. This provided the opportunity to undertake the major revisions required to develop and incorporate standards for new categories of withdrawal management services developed for this edition of the Standards. The working group is appreciative of the contribution and support of Addictions Ontario towards the production of these standards. The working group further wishes to acknowledge and express our appreciation to those of our colleagues who actively took an interest in reviewing the drafts and providing feedback. Your input was of great value to us in determining the final revision. Committee Members Ontario Withdrawal Management Standards, 2008 xi
